- Testimonial: Being coached by Daniel has made me a better athlete than I would have ever dreamed of becoming. Four years ago, I finished nearly last in the swim portion of my first sprint triathlon. With Daniels help and individual style of coaching, I'm swimming, biking, and running faster than ever before. 2011 gave me PR's at nearly every distance, 5K, Sprint, 13.1, and 70.3, all thanks to Daniel's coaching. Likewise, Daniel's collection of world class athletes, both age group and Master's alike, are an inspiration and motivation to continually push myself harder and faster.
